Thanks Flo.

So then Dawlish grapevine, anyone know if it has been done up to be sold or if the person who owns it will be moving in/has moved in?

If you click on the link I have given in my post above and then click on associated documents (see bottom left of page underneath the map) you should be able to access what Dawlish Town Council's Planning Committee had to say about this planning application when they met and discussed it last Thursday.

(iii) DAWLISH - 15/02018/MAJ - Land at Secmaton Lane - Approval of reserved matters for six flats and eight dwellings with associated parking and ancillary areas pursuant to 12/01147/OUT (approval sought for access, scale, layout, appearance and landscape) Reserved matters be granted subject to the following conditions: 1.

The Bill has now been amended and it now also proposes that future council tenants should no longer have life time tenancies but two or five year fixed term tenancies.

Santa cycle ride organised by Braking Wind.  Bob at Braking Wind Cycles usually organises an annual Santa Ride and some of you might like to join him. It is a casual and  fun affair with an easy ride.Everybody turning up to ride will be responsible for themselves!  It is not a Sustrans/Destination Dawlish event, but it will be a good opportunity for people to find out what is happening in the area ...

I’ve just been reading an article in a housing magazine which says that housing associations could exempt hundreds of thousands of homes from Right to Buy. Last week, 5 housing associations launched a RtB pilot scheme. Apparently the landlords (ie housing associations) are free to decide which properties to exempt from RtB and those included in this exemption will include homes built under a ...

So, we could have a hike in council tax to pay for social care. (see below for what George Osborne said about this in his Autumn Statement). " the health service cannot function effectively without good social care. The truth we need to confront is this: many local authorities are not going to be able to meet growing social care needs unless they have new sources of funding. That, in the ...

The government has set itself a target of 1million new homes by 2020 and is looking at having around about 20% of them (that's 200,000) as Starter Homes sold at 20% off market value to young first time buyers. Another 135,000 new homes will be the brand new Help to Buy: Shared Ownership. Many of the restrictions on shared ownership – who can buy them, who can build them and who they can be sold ...

Was £8.99 now £4.00. Bought one this morning (orangey/gold colour). Now adorning my front garden. Mostly yellow or white ones at JP but also some pink and burgandy coloured ones. Lovely looking plants.

Please post on here or contact me personally via the message option at the bottom of this posting. Many thanks Lynne

This is what the Inspector's Report of June 2013 said about the Warren Grove development and SANGS. "10.7 In addition, the s.106 Agreement makes provision for financial contributions toward the acquisition, maintenance and management of SANGS, to mitigate the impact that recreational use by future occupiers of the proposed dwellings might otherwise have on the SPA and SAC. The total of ...

An idea being mooted by some in the town is that Sandy Lane Playing Fields (not all of the site though! - just a yet to be identified bit of it) could be an ideal place to have a community orchard. What think ye all of that idea? There is already a community orchard scheduled for somewhere in DA2/DA6 (in plainspeak that's out Secmaton/Shutterton way where the new housing developments are ...

@flo - yes.

Bought some plants via an honesty box from a front garden on Exeter Road earlier this year and then again, a couple of weeks back, similar set up, from outside a cottage in Cockwood.

Bump.

Click on this link. http://www.stellabenford.co.uk/collage/ there was talk at one time (last year I think) of whether the town council should purchase it. They didn't. This from the minutes of the 3.9.14 town council meeting: "(c) Artwork of Dawlish (Report TC 94 refers). Consideration was given to the purchase of a piece of artwork entitled “Jet Stream Meets Dawlish,” by a ...

I noticed a few weeks back that all the signs saying that it was going to be a new taxi office and asking for new taxi drivers suddenly disappeared. All seems to have gone quiet on this. It hasn't gone to planning committee yet. Some more objections have been lodged recently including one by Michael Clayson with which I whole heartedly agree. Have a read of it. Document dated Monday 27th ...

Saw this on the Events page of this website Dawlish Warren NNR Visitor Centre Love Your Water Dawlish Warren NNR Visitor Centre 13 August 2015 Start 10:00 Lots of free activities including a rockpool ramble at 11am Snorkelling taster sessions (all free of charge) Thought I would post it on this discussion page as well as I thought "Love Your Water" quite ironic given the unloved ...

There are some names and faces on page two of this week's Gazette.

This will effect families in Dawlish. “Asked in April by a concerned young mother whether the Conservatives would cut tax credits for families with children, a nervous David Cameron , chasing votes on the BBC’s Question Time special, sounded clear enough before the general election. “No, I don’t want to do that,” Cameron said. A sceptical David Dimbleby wondered if he could guarantee it would ...

I had a quick look on the TDC website at the objections that are presently being lodged about this application (ironically one is from an address on one of the new build sites complaining about how this development will cause loss of view of open countryside!) Are solicitors, when they do searches for buyers on the already existing new build sites, not picking up on the fact that the whole area ...

This letter was in yesterday's Observer "I was fortunate enough to turn 18 two months before 7 May this year and so I am proud to state I am one of the 58% of young people who cast their vote in the general election. However, it pains me to say that I am now one of the millions of people who will be worse off, thanks to George Osborne’s summer budget. It appears, after the first Conservative ...

It is anticipated that the main disruption will occur on Thursday and Friday, with limited disruption at other times. The train service in our region will be as follows on Thursday and Friday: • Exeter to Paignton stopping service ...

Just out of curiousity I typed in What Do They Know Peter Harry and clicked on search. And sure enough it seems PH is still at it. Last FOI request/correspondence involving PH seems to have been but only earlier this year with North Yorkshire Police.

In the case of Warren Farm I think you'll find we are talking about one house only. A barn conversion. The legislation that allows this to happen also has various restrictions as to how many houses can be built (believe only barns already in situ) and how big (no bigger than the space already taken up by the barn in question).

The old and very dilapidated vicarage by any chance?

Yesterday the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, made a speech about the NHS. Below is an extract where he refers specifically to the elderly. Admittedly he has their medical needs/the NHS in mind but the point is that if we are to continue having an ever increasing elderly population then surely we will need more accommodation suitable for the needs of the elderly? “Within 5 years we will be ...

See this week's Dawlish Gazette. (If memory serves, people living in that area pointed out to the planners way back in 2008/9 that there would be problems with sewage disposal. And were they listened to? Seems not). And I've found this - letter from South West Water dated 2012 concerning the new housing development(s) and sewage disposal. ...

Visted patient at Southmead yesterday (Saturday). Strongly suggest that if anyone else goes patient visiting that they do so at the weekend. Plenty of spaces in the car park. Whole complex so very, very, quiet compared to the mayhem of week days. If you can avoid going to Southmead Mon-Fri.  Do!

Well, I tell you what I was told at the time (2010?) about why this Tuesday market/car boot stopped. This is what was told to me by some of the regular car boot sellers. They said that the person who ran this (succesful!) Tuesday morning market/car boot had been priced out by another, open market only, outfit and that the owner of the field had followed the money and gone with the Wednesday open ...

“Constitutionally, there is no rule that the party with the largest number of seats has a right to form a government. Mr Clegg also said the party with the largest mandate should be able to negotiate first”.
